Person
Hi, I’m Basil Eberhard. Swiss-born, Singapore-raised, and shaped by the water.
I’ve been fortunate to train under the former coach of the Dutch national team and develop a lifelong connection to swimming. Over the years, I’ve coached swimmers of all levels, worked as a lifeguard and earned swimming, surf and ocean safety certifications. Every step has deepened my love for the water and my desire to share it with others. I’m here to help you grow, feel confident and experience the power of swimming.

I love being in the water—it’s not only an incredible workout and a great way to stay fit for surfing, but it’s also one of the few places where you can completely disconnect. No phones — just you and the water.

Competing against Olympic gold medalist Joseph Schooling and breaking his Singapore record was a proud moment.
